Persistent inflammation does not promote aversion-resistant binge-like alcohol drinking in rats
Background
Chronic pain is a leading cause of disability, significantly decreases quality of life, and is highly co-morbid with substance use disorders, including alcohol use disorder (AUD). This is due, in part, to the pain-relieving effects of alcohol acting as a potential driving force for the progression and maintenance of AUD. Despite a substantial body of historic, anecdotal, clinical, and epidemiological evidence supporting the analgesic efficacy of alcohol, few preclinical studies have investigated the effects of pain on volitional alcohol drinking. Further, no studies to date have investigated aversion-resistant drinking in the context of persistent pain.
Methods
To address this gap in the literature, the current study combined quinine adulteration with the drinking in the dark (DID) model of binge-like alcohol drinking to assess the effects of complete Freund's adjuvant (CFA)-induced persistent inflammation on aversion-resistant binge-like alcohol drinking in female and male Long Evans rats.
Results
Consistent with previous findings from our laboratory, CFA did not affect binge-like alcohol drinking in either sex, although female rats did consume greater levels of alcohol during baseline and post-CFA DID sessions. Similarly, CFA did not affect quinine adulterated binge-like alcohol drinking in either sex.
Conclusions
This study is the first to investigate the impact of persistent inflammation on aversion-resistant alcohol drinking. Although we found no effects of CFA on quinine adulterated binge-like alcohol drinking, these findings provide the groundwork for future investigations into this otherwise unstudied aspect of the pain-alcohol relationship.
期刊介绍:
Alcohol is an international, peer-reviewed journal that is devoted to publishing multi-disciplinary biomedical research on all aspects of the actions or effects of alcohol on the nervous system or on other organ systems. Emphasis is given to studies into the causes and consequences of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, and biomedical aspects of diagnosis, etiology, treatment or prevention of alcohol-related health effects.
Intended for both research scientists and practicing clinicians, the journal publishes original research on the neurobiological, neurobehavioral, and pathophysiological processes associated with alcohol drinking, alcohol abuse, alcohol-seeking behavior, tolerance, dependence, withdrawal, protracted abstinence, and relapse. In addition, the journal reports studies on the effects alcohol on brain mechanisms of neuroplasticity over the life span, biological factors associated with adolescent alcohol abuse, pharmacotherapeutic strategies in the treatment of alcoholism, biological and biochemical markers of alcohol abuse and alcoholism, pathological effects of uncontrolled drinking, biomedical and molecular factors in the effects on liver, immune system, and other organ systems, and biomedical aspects of fetal alcohol spectrum disorder including mechanisms of damage, diagnosis and early detection, treatment, and prevention. Articles are published from all levels of biomedical inquiry, including the following: molecular and cellular studies of alcohol''s actions in vitro and in vivo; animal model studies of genetic, pharmacological, behavioral, developmental or pathophysiological aspects of alcohol; human studies of genetic, behavioral, cognitive, neuroimaging, or pathological aspects of alcohol drinking; clinical studies of diagnosis (including dual diagnosis), treatment, prevention, and epidemiology. The journal will publish 9 issues per year; the accepted abbreviation for Alcohol for bibliographic citation is Alcohol.
